Should have known a post like this would bring out the purists and their nitpickyness ;) A good point though and something to keep in mind for next time.

Thanks man! I do remember that the wood was red oak, but having trouble remembering the exact shade of Minwax stain. I want to say it was a Maple shade of some kind.

I thought it was a converter but I guess I was wrong. I really like the stuff though and use it on a lot of my stuff for rust protection. I do know about POR15 but have never used it...I'm wondering if there would be an easy way to apply it like through a spray can and wand that can get into the...

Thank you sir! Much appreciated. My uncle specifically wanted the cast iron grates after he saw mine. I love the way they hold heat and sear. It seasons so nicely over time too.

Good day everyone! Time for my final update on this project. I put some serious time into wrapping things up over the last several days. Once the paint process is complete and everything is dry, it's hard to not want to get everything back together as quickly as possible to admire your work...

Quick update!! I found a piece of 1" square tube at Lowe's for $21. Not too bad...had a friend cut it to size with an angle grinder. Ordered some of those threaded inserts from Amazon too so I won't have to use those unoriginal L brackets. Today I finished sanding the frame, firebox, manifold...

Thanks guys! Anyone know if Lowes or Home Depot will cut the tube to length in store? I have a DeWalt Mitre Saw but I only have the factory blade that came with it which I'm sure is not ideal for cutting steel.

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted anything on here but I am back at it again with another restoration. This one is an early 2000s Genesis Silver B with a sweet Forest Green lid. This restoration is for my uncle who has been asking me to restore one for him after he saw my own...

Thanks everyone, yes indeed the owners manual specifies those fasteners as (2) 1/4-20. I completely forgot about a jar of random Weber hardware that I harvested from some years ago when doing a previous restoration. I found 2 of the exact fastener I needed! Teardown begins this week.

Also needing to find a couple of these fasteners that secure the plastic end piece to the frame. They were missing when I picked it up. If anyone could help me locate these I'd be very appreciative!

Purchased from the original owners. I finally found a Hunter Green genesis worthy of a restoration. This is going to be for my uncle who has been wanting an older Genesis. Even came with the original owners manual! The frame is in decent shape but is still going to get repainted so that it...

Finished up the Genesis Restoration project over the weekend, and made final delivery to the end-user last night (my neighbor, who saw my Genesis redhead and asked me to refinish one for her). A few more progress pics... Here is the frame after paint getting ready for reassembly. I'm a big...

Hey guys, sorry for the long delay between updates, been busy with other life events the past couple of months and the project was moved to the backburner. I started working on the rehab again a couple weeks ago, and just got the final coat of paint on the frame last night. Overall it took 5...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I decided to go with the Unicook 55" off Amazon. $28 + sales tax. Seems to have pretty good reviews and I like the price point compared to the weber version which goes for $80-90ish. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8TBJKC/?tag=tvwb-20

I'm seeing Zober covers for $32 on Amazon. Inflation, perhaps? $25 is probably as cheap as I'd like to go, don't want the cheapest, want something that will last at least several years.

As the title states, I'm in the process of recovering an early 2000s model Genesis 3 burner and currently picking out replacement parts... Curious if anyone had suggestions for a grill cover. I'm debating to just go generic from Amazon as they seem to be roughly half the price of the Weber...

Never seen the Genesis junior before, seems like a rare bird for sure! Love how it looks like a funhouse version of the Genesis 3000.

Beautiful job. Nicely done. I hadn't seen many Genesis 5000 pictures but I think you just awakened something in me. This is my new white whale. My favorite feature are the glass doors on bottom, they look amazing! But seriously great job with the restoration and nice photos too. I'm in the...

I am probably only going to do one at a time. I plan on repainting and finishing the black one first. Here is my progress today on one of the frames. Sanding sure is a lot of work. Should be ready for paint soon. What kind of paint do you guys like for restorations? I believe I previously...

Here is the other one I'm disassembling today. Another early 2000s model (DT)... had it sitting in the garage for a while, and my uncle said he wanted one so going to refinish this one for him.
